How the building works<br />The new library is the most environmentally responsible building the school has built.<br />

8.
How the building works<br />Entrances located off major thoroughfares.<br />Multiple entrances. The library is open and porous to the rest of the school.<br />Flexible & bookable learning spaces: noisy & quite spaces. <br />The collection at the centre of things: <br /><ul><li>Easy access.

How the building works<br />The Junior Library is on the first floor so it links directly off the Primary School class rooms.<br />

24.
How the building works<br />Bookable areas have names that underline the learning activity that takes place in the space. <br />Story World<br />Story World supports reading and literacy among our younger students.<br />InterACTIVE<br />A craft / wet area that encourages hands on learning. It is also used for many of the Primary School library lunch time clubs.<br />

How the building works<br />Bookable areas have names that underline the learning activity that takes place in the space. <br />News Cafe<br />With newspapers, magazines, and news TV the news Café is for catching up on new information. The coffee machine for senior students and staff makes this a social and informal learning space. This is where the printer, photocopier and scanner are located.<br />Year 12 Study Lounge<br />A dedicated quite study space for Year 12 students. <br />

27.
Impact of the building<br />Overall use of the library has increased dramatically.<br />On average there are now over 1,200 visits per day.<br />Increase in the use of the library as a learning space and a social space.<br />Learning spaces are heavily booked and patron feedback is very positive.<br />Use of the (weeded) print collection has increased dramatically.<br />Average monthly checkouts have risen by 214%, while the increase for books alone is 204%.<br />Our work has changed though the focus remains the same: the library as a learning environment.<br />

28.
Challenges<br />Patron expectation is now much higher. Though we have given them more they want more again.<br />We have to deliver more.Especially more technology and more online services.<br />Our workhas become more varied and complex.<br />We have to deliver services on two levels with the same number of staff.<br />We therefore have to find further efficiencies and continue to streamline processes.<br />

29.
Next Challenges<br />We are now working on the next challenges:<br />Googalise the catalogue and make the online resources easier to find and use.<br />Integrating the online and physical library services.<br />eBooks. See Eli NeiburgerLJ/SLJeBook Summit presentation “Libraries are Screwed” on YouTube.<br />The internet of everything.The boundary between the physical and the online is becoming blurred.<br />Deliver library services via mobile devices.<br />

30.
Meeting the Challenges<br /> Continue to streamlineandoutsource back end processes.<br />Library staff are vital.Free them up to directly engage and support students and staff.<br />Reskilling is the new constant.<br /> We need to learn new skillsand question old habits.<br /> Work in partnershipwith suppliers.<br /> Be prepared to experimentand make mistakes but manage the risks.<br />Report and document what we do and the VALUEwe deliver.<br />Library staff wiki, 3 year team plan, and a pie chart from the regular library report. <br />

31.
Questions<br />Courtyard with wireless internet and power to the outside tables is an extension of the library. <br />
